Happiness is a choice that requires effort at times.

I gave them hope, and so turned away their eyes from death

From a small seed a mighty trunk may grow.

He who learns must suffer. And even in our sleep pain that cannot forget falls drop by drop upon the heart, and in our own despair, against our will, comes wisdom to us by the awful grace of God.

There are times when fear is good. It must keep its watchful place at the heart's controls.

Ask the gods nothing excessive.

It is best for the wise man not to seem wise.

God ever works with those who work with will.
